Based on the history you have shared, it can be acute attack of upper respiratory tract infection complicated by spread to sinuses and congestion or inflammation of eustachian tube which connects middle ear to throat can cause ear ache or bloakcage due to variations of air pressures between inside and outside of ear drum.
X-ray PNS is better to confirm sinusitis. Current gravity of symptoms indicate need of antibiotics like azithromycin or coamoxiclav. Using nasal decongestants and anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine alongwith OTC analgesics like acetaminophen can be helpful.
Steam inhalations and XXXXXXX warm saline water gargles will help. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
